Hold on. You probably didn’t catch that since it’s the longest study title in the history of study titles. Essentially, researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston are linking coffee to the blindness that results from glaucoma.

Yeah. Not such a great day after all, right?

The study monitored the eye health of thousands of participants in the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, which notes a patient’s caffeine intake.

“Scandinavian populations have the highest frequencies of exfoliation syndrome and glaucoma,” said author Jae Hee Kang, ScD, of Channing Division of Network Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass. “Because Scandinavian populations also have the highest consumption of caffeinated coffee in the world, and our research group has previously found that greater caffeinated coffee intake was associated with increased risk of primary open-angle glaucoma, we conducted this study to evaluate whether the risk of exfoliation glaucoma or glaucoma suspect may be different by coffee consumption.’”
